Descriptiontext

Heritage Environmental Services, operating commercially as Arcwood Environmental Services, is a privately held U.S. environmental services firm founded in 1970 and headquartered in Indianapolis. The company delivers a full-service platform spanning hazardous and industrial waste transportation, treatment, and disposal; field and onsite services; technical solutions (including unknown chemical identification and lab packing by trained Field Chemists); emergency response; environmental compliance training; and demilitarization and explosive disposal. Its technical backbone includes proprietary thermal treatment units and demilitarization processing lines, supplemented by energy recovery infrastructure that has delivered 242 million pounds of steam recovery, 17.8 million gallons of treated wastewater reuse, and 15 energy reduction projects.

The company generates revenue primarily through service contracts — waste management, professional services for chemical identification and compliance, and emergency response engagements — priced on a quote basis via direct sales with local representatives and consultative onsite engagement. Customers are concentrated in industrial/manufacturing, defense/military, and government agency verticals, with distribution through a local rep network and an enterprise customer portal. The business is supported by a marketing mix of content/regulatory education, organic social (LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram), and earned media.

Heritage is backed by EQT Infrastructure as a financial sponsor and is executing an active M&A strategy, having acquired Frank's Vacuum Truck Service in December 2022 and announcing the acquisition of EBV Explosives Environmental Company from General Dynamics in June 2024 (expected to close Q3 2024). The company operates between 1,001 and 5,000 employees across North America, with affiliated transport operations through Heritage Transport and demilitarization facilities in Missouri.
